Brendan Gallagher had a goal and two assists for Montreal . Phillip Danault and Max Domi added a goal and an assist each while Jeff Petry, on a penalty shot, and Jonathan Drouin also scored. Price stopped 32 shots for the Canadiens. Shea Weber had two assists.
The Leafs managed to kill that one off and Tavares had a chance on another break coming out of the box, but Price snagged his effort with the glove.Toronto appeared to have the game in hand when Nylander made it 4-1 at 5:16 of the third period on a power play, but Montreal scored 11 seconds later when Drouin's pass in front went in off Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly.
Petry was awarded a penalty shot as a result, and he beat Hutchinson glove side to tie the game at 13:02 before Danault put his team ahead by banging a rebound home with 4:40 left as Montreal scored four times in less than 10 minutes. Montreal got on the board just 68 seconds into the first period when Domi took a feed from Artturi Lehkonen on a 2-on-1 and beat Hutchinson on Montreal's second shot of the game.
Weber crushed Tavares with a clean check along the boards later in the period, but the latter was none the worse for wear. Matthews almost got his second of the game and fifth of the campaign later in the period on another man advantage only to have his stick explode on contact with Price at his mercy.
What? Soooo parade route planning on hold? Awww
More physical play (good solid checking of your opponent with the puck) especially in your own zone is needed. Haven’t seen that from the leafs in decades.
Attitude is everything in hockey - the leafs have the wrong attitude for many years and THIS is why a Stanley Cup will continue to be out of reach🤷♂️
Typical leaf move 🙄
GO HABS GO!!
Ok leafs, time to move Hutchinson
Leafs are trash and so are their fans. Leafs LeafsNation

Leafs blow 3-goal third-period lead before losing in shootout to HabsAuston Matthews, Mitch Marner and John Tavares all failed to beat Carey Price in the shootout It's early. But Mathew's has got bigger problems to be concerned about and Leafs must figure it out soon. Dubas and Babcock looked lost. $30+ million for Tavares, Marner and Matthews and no one can score in the shootout OR on two breakaways in the shootout? Make Kapanen the idiot read the rule book while you're at it. Tavares is no leader. The only thing worse than the Leafs or the Habs are their fans. clownshoes
